Getting To Know The Gs-3012; Introduction; Features - ZyXEL Communications Dimension GS-3012 User Manual

1.1 Introduction

The GS-3012 is a layer 2 stand-alone Gigabit Ethernet switch with 12 10/100/1000Mbps ports, four mini GBIC
slots for optical uplinking and one console port and RJ-45 port for local management.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to port-
level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click
your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the
console port, or third-party SNMP management.
